GoPro kite line mount

I have been looking at getting the Camrig kite line mount, but after a restless night thought I would have a go at making my own - especially once I remembered I had a couple of line winders tucked away that I could adapt...

Trimmed them down and attached the GoPro mount that I had created from the original packaging...

Used some Velcro cable ties...

The finished product...

And the video from the test flight...

Overall I am really pleased with the outcome and it only cost $6 to make! It will be good to try it in the buggy - will try and tidy it up a bit and add a secondary security line to make it perfect.

Edit:

Since originally making this I have updated it so the camera sits at 90 degrees, this makes the video easier for editing...

Previously known as the kite Hero - now I have a depower foil I am looking at getting one of these...

I think it would give an excellent perspective on my kite buggying, from 20m up!
